Delhi Police working on app to solve capital's streetlight problem

Delhi Police are working on another app for women's safety. The Women Safety- Dark Spots App will allow citizens to notify the authorities of dysfunctional or absent streetlights at the click of a button.

This comes after a man molested two women at the deserted ITO metro station exit last month.

TOI reports many women have complained about having to avoid dark places.
